"There are a whole lot of people that don't care what celebs think"...
"If celebs, the left (and that might be redundant), the purported "cool" kid alter-ultraconformists, the old media, and the ushers of pop idolatry don't like conservatism, then good. Their culture is vapid, degenerate and self destructive. Their ideology is an irrational blend of existential fascism and cultural marxism. Every place they control is falling apart and the longer they have been in control it the worse it is. We should neither desire their praise nor their accolades. We should hold them in as much contempt as they hold us, but more importantly we should never ever pander to them."

I do not disagree with your gist here. But one must keep in mind that theese views are not what would be considered "mainstream" right now. As much as 'we' want, this, what you refer to, is still the predominant force in the society today. And it has this predominance because the "cool kids" tell them that this is how it should be.
This is the result of the dumbing-down and the lowering of the bar for what is accepted intelligence. This has not occurred overnight. This is the planned result of decades of interference from established planners. heir plan has worked, and is continuing to work.
The obvious question is now....How do 'we' counter this?
Education, media and politics. In that order must be countered and brought into the same prominence and mind position as what is now considered "cool."
And frankly, I see little chance of this happening given the depth of infiltration that has occurred.
Bickering among 'ourselves' over semantics and conservative political correctness (yes, it is a real thing) does nothing but divide us and our message. That is playing directly into the game of those who wish to destroy 'us' and all we belive in and desire for our culture and our world.

Not considered mainstream by whom? Why exactly do you call it the predominant force with such certitude? What facts do you have to back this position up?

I absolutely agree that where we are now as a nation is the direct result of more than a century of planning and incrementalism and I absolutely agree that we must counter it in at least a similar fashion.

I'm not sure that I agree that there is such a thing as conservative political correctness. Honest and open debate among conservatives is one of the multitude of things that makes us better than leftists and while it may hurt our short term efficiency it will help us in the long term. Not being true to conservatism is one of the things that allowed us to be dragged into this mess in the first place.
